Mothers face difficulty in dealing with the newborn, especially if it is the first child, but the most difficult is the baby crying, difficult to satisfy, because the language of communication with him is largely missing.
However, there are new studies that have contributed to explaining how to deal with infants who can be described as highly demanding and emotional need.
The main causes of crying
Before beginning to judge an infant as bothersome and demanding, a group of causes of inconvenience to the crying baby should be excluded, the most important of which are colic, esophageal reflux, hunger, wetness, diaper tightness, and a feeling of resentment of temperature, which is the most common cause of infant crying at less than two months, and after confirmation That the infant does not suffer from any diseases or pains that can be dealt with his crying and requests.
Perhaps you see him troublesome and many requests, but he is really very in need of his mother, studies have included the most prominent characteristics that appear on that infant, among which he appears sharp and difficult to satisfy, and drains the energy of his parents, and is never satisfied with hugs and threats, as he needs to breastfeed frequently And it is not motivated by hunger, and these children often reject the pacifier as a substitute for breastfeeding, because breastfeeding represents a physical affection for them and nostalgia, while the pacifier makes it alone, which is the opposite of his emotional need of touching and hugging.
These children find it difficult to sleep even with satiety, as they wake up several times to breastfeed at night, and do not sleep long hours continuously easily, because they need to communicate at night, and the problem is that they express their need with loud, hysterical and sharp screaming, which is very inconvenient for parents.
Unfortunately, these children with all attempts to hug and calm down are unhappy, and rarely smile despite all the effort made towards them, and it is difficult to expect when and how to calm down or scream, and one of the most important signs for these children is that they refuse to put them on a bed or a chair or separate from the mother in any way .
A complex problem that has several solutions
Some mothers may think that the solution in this case is impossible, or that all children suffer from the same problem, but on the contrary, many children have the ability to calm themselves, and therefore some institutions concerned with mother and babies have put in place some means to calm this type of child.
In order for the mother to understand the situation of this child, she must realize that her son has spent 9 months in complete darkness in a limited place, and was surprised by the birth, lights, and loud sounds, whether he suffers from acclimatization or dismay, but he is undoubtedly the weak party in this location, because he lost the ability to Expression and trying to distress by one means does not have the other, which is crying, which is the first thing that a tired mother should know about the intensity of caring for this child, after her calmness and support she can try many of the following methods to calm him:
child's seat
Some babies calm down the movement, swinging may become a good way to reassure them, and there are currently many baby chairs that support all degrees of vibration available on the market. Light to swing, you can use one of them and try it at the store to find out what kind suits your baby, and some of them sleep just by putting them in the car seat or with the beginning of driving.
Swaddling and caring for Kangaroo
Some infants may need to feel safe after they are born, and because the mother's womb is different from the vast outside world, swaddling (wrapping the baby with a special cloth that surrounds almost all of his body and keeps the head outside) is a good solution not only because of the feeling of safety, but also because the repetition of the movement of the hands And the two men may cause the child's increased attention and activity, and thus lose his desire to sleep.
Therefore, the mother controls the continuous movement by swaddling and wrapping the child tightly to reduce the movement of the limbs, and this method may become feasible in the first months only for the infant, and it should only be followed when sleeping to leave freedom of movement for the child during the daylight hours, and they can also be carried in a Kangaroo way and touching them with the hug through bras Kangaroo is for infants to feel safe and comfortable.
White noise
Some babies share a sense of relaxation and relaxation while hearing white noise, and they are like sounds like a washer, hair dryer, range hood, sounds of sea waves and rain, and they are available in the name of white noise on many electronic platforms, as well as software application stores.
And that noise depends on the quiet monotony that plunges you into sleep with just focusing with those repeated voices, and it is useful for adults as well and helps them sleep.
Every child has his own way of reaching a state of calm, so it may take between one week and 100 days to get to know the new world, so that the child can adapt to this new life, during that period the mother must obtain the moral and psychological support necessary for her to continue to meet the needs of her infant, which It may limit her ability to sleep well, and take a natural rest, in order to continue her physical and psychological ability to calm the baby.
